[The Fishing Plan. Beginning]
Initially, Han Dong indeed planned to lure his target to the sports stadium.
Isolating the field through a field burn, other hosts would be unable to cross the flames immediately even if they rushed over… Then, in collaboration with Chen Li and the stitched evil thing, they would swiftly execute the parasitic main body.
However, when the history teacher – Powell, found the real parasitic host.
Han Dong immediately changed the plan.
The parasitic main body is not the principal or school leader but a student, proving high intelligence and great alertness… This makes the high-risk plan of a strong killing quite dangerous.
A deeper layout is needed.
Add another layer to the original fishing plan.
The target’s ‘alertness’ must be lowered
Make it believe that it has eradicated the ‘trouble maker’ in the school, while letting the parasitic group stay within the school to deal with the corpses and the burned field, settling the situation.
And it, as normal, goes home alone.
In this way, the real opportunity for ‘one-on-one’ comes.
“Hello, Bella.”
When Han Dong said this.
The female student standing at the entrance of the canteen showed a ferocious color.
Under her skin, strange lines wriggled back and forth, emitting a terrifying aura overall.
Also, Chen Li herself was not lacking either.
Miss Chen Li held a kitchen knife, her black hair covering her face, her head turned at a 900 angle, staring at the female student at the entrance.
The moment anything unusual happens, the kitchen knife will land on the other’s head.
“Where are my parents?”
The first thing Bella asked was about her parents… This doesn’t look much like a parasite, but rather like a strong daughter’s reaction after her parents have been kidnapped.
“They should be singing and dancing in the town club.
Also, you’d better not let the teachers in the school hurry over. Otherwise, tomorrow’s newspapers might run a story about an accidental explosion at the club.”
At this remark, Bella’s forehead veins bulged, and even some worm roots crawled out of her eye sockets.
Such intense emotional fluctuation, indicates Bella’s concern for her ‘parents’.
This completely does not fit in with her identity as the host body of a parasite. “Come over, or the food will get cold … after all, this meal is prepared for you.” Han Dong once again initiated the invitation to dinner.
The parasitic main body stared at Han Dong, left her school bag in the living room, and sat in her familiar seat at the table.
Even though sitting down, most of her gaze was fixed on Han Dong.
Under her perception, Han Dong emitted a stronger sense of danger than the red-dressed woman holding a kitchen knife next to her…
“What do you want to do?”
Han Dong shrugged, “I don’t want to do anything. If possible, I even hope to peacefully resolve this matter… Let you continue to control everything in the school, I won’t interfere, and you can also continue to maintain your family.
However, there are some questions that I must get clear of.”
Bella weirdly stared back at Han Dong.
Indeed, as a host of a parasite, she is sensitive in perception… She could see that this young man indeed had no hostility.
“Go ahead.”
“I came to your house early and talked with your parents for a long time… Surprisingly, they were ordinary people and had not been parasitized.
Moreover, upon knowing that I am your classmate, they were incredibly enthusiastic and insisted on having me stay for dinner.
Very kind parents.
Also, during the conversation, I realized they held you in high regard, they were very satisfied to have a daughter like you.
It’s very strange… A parasitic main body that can manipulate Derry Town Basic
Center from behind the scenes, yet at home, is a well-behaved girl. Are you hiding your true identity and pretending to be a human? Or do you wish to become a human? Or were you originally a human?
The first question, why do you want to be an ordinary person but secretly cultivate your parasitic army?”
While Bella was using a knife to cut the turkey in front of her, she responded, “There is only one reason to raise offspring.
“Because I fear this… I must breed enough offspring to protect my parents, to protect this small town.”
The dinner knife didn’t cut the turkey, but carved a clown’s mask onto its surface.
Such a response was beyond Han Dong’s imagination…it was several times better than expected.
The purpose of this dinner party was to understand the origin and position of the parasitic body, to consider the next course of action.
Now that he had asked, the other party seemed to be on the same boat with him, breeding an army of parasites in secret out of fear of the clown… And Bella’s true identity might indeed be that of an ordinary person, mutated into a host body for some reason.
Through ‘The Eye’s’ secret observation, it could be judged that the other party was not lying.
Therefore, he decided to play along.
If he could win over this ‘locally born’ host body, the clues and benefits he would gain would far exceed those of the rewarded [Medium-sized clues].
Once he had a powerful host body’s assistance, the subsequent exploration, control and battle for the small town would be much easier.
“It seems we are on the same boat… I also came to Derry Town for the clown. Are you interested in cooperating with me, Bella, to find and kill this clown?”
Han Dong directly threw out the olive branch, awaiting the other party’s response.
Bella opened her terrifying mouth full of sharp teeth, even her tongue was all teeth, swallowing the whole turkey in one mouthful, then looked at Han Dong:
“First, I don’t trust you, direct cooperation is impossible.
Second, even if I cooperate with you, it is impossible to kill ‘that thing’.” Han Dong added:
“You must have seen the changes in the town, haven’t you, Bella?
The red balloons are increasing… If you don’t want to collaborate directly, how about ‘indirect cooperation’?
You continue in the school, breeding offspring to expand the parasite army, and I will not interfere with you.
Just tell me the secrets of Derry Town and the information about the clown that you know! When necessary, just have some of the parasitic hosts serve as cannon fodder.
And I will conduct a full investigation of Derry Town… what do you think?”
Han Dong does have the ability to coax people.
As a college teacher in his previous life, he had to find ways to coax some graduate students into helping with his research group.
“I will think about it.”
With such a response, Han Dong was elated, which to a certain extent meant that this relational network was established… If he was able to cooperate with this host, the success rate of this fate event would greatly increase.
Just then.
Due to the parasitic body’s need for water and Bella just having swallowed a turkey.
She, parched, casually picked up a glass of water from the table.
“This water is!?”
At first, Han Dong thought nothing of it.
Drinking water is a very normal thing.
But at this juncture, it just didn’t feel right… His brain was quickly searching for the initial memory image, there didn’t seem to be this glass of plain water on the original dining table.
This glass of water seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
“Don’t drink it!”
Han Dong hesitated, wanting to stop her, but it was too late.
Bella, who had drunk the plain water, began to tremble, the fur on her body floated, and her pupils rapidly reddened.
“Damn it!
Han Dong immediately activated the halo trait of his “griffon chick’s cortex short boots”.
Maximizing his speed, he grabbed Chen Li and fled the building.
Boom! A loud bang!
The standalone building collapsed, revealing a giant host body!
